Album update, installment 2
I wrote this today and I think I have some music. It's all part of my concerted effort to leave behind vague, teen angst masquerading as important issues. Melody is still in the works. Lyrically, this is set as a theme, but lines and words are elastic at this point. Please! comment and make suggestions. Those of you whom I respect (you know who you are). This was written for the sake of a theme. No chorus, 'cept the sha la la la's. And honestly, that is a lazy thing for me to do. But it is kind of haunting. I dunno. I tried to get inside of someone else's head.
(untitled)
I only always ever had slush in my shoes
Waiting at the altar for her to arrive
Hesitating to be so committed to you
I know your father did with you at his side
sha la la la
I remember I held his tiny head and hands
At night as he fell asleep on my chest
Raisins and candies tucked in his pants
did I know how much I was blest?
sha la la la
She and I used to love eachother once
I used to miss work just to feel her touch
Now I only see you every other month
The judge, she says I drink too much
Anyway, if this song comes out well, I'll put it on the new album.
So far, the songs I want to record are as follows.
1. The Last (incomplete)
2. Michael
3. Lunita (not sure)
4. Dear Sister
5. (Song about my grandfather's death)
6. (This new one)
7. Only October
8. Now and Then (Friends)
9. (Ghost Song, fka "Samuel")
The thing I might do is sort of chronicle my life and then my potential life.
